Psalms 26

1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.

psalmus David iudica me Domine quoniam ego in innocentia mea ingressus sum et in Domino sperans non infirmabor

2 Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:

proba me Domine et tempta me ure renes meos et cor meum

3 For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.

quoniam misericordia tua ante oculos meos est et conplacui in veritate tua

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;

non sedi cum concilio vanitatis et cum iniqua gerentibus non introibo

5 I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.

odivi ecclesiam malignantium et cum impiis non sedebo

6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

lavabo inter innocentes manus meas et circumdabo altare tuum Domine

7 That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.

ut audiam vocem laudis et enarrem universa mirabilia tua

8 Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

Domine dilexi decorem domus tuae et locum habitationis gloriae tuae

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;

ne perdas cum impiis animam meam et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam

10 In whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.

in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt dextera eorum repleta est muneribus

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum redime me et miserere mei

12 My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.

pes meus stetit in directo in ecclesiis benedicam te Domine
